Lot Essay

"When in 1930, the physicist Wolfgang Pauli postulated the existence of neutrinos, the exotic subatomic particles thought to constitute as much as the nine tenths of the as yet undetectable mass of the universe, he was, he later claimed, breaking the cardinal rule of classical physics: 'I have committed the ultimate sin,' he said, 'I have predicted the existence of a particle that can never be observed.'"
N. Wakefield, "Rudolf Stingel, Pataphysician at the End of Painting," Rudolf Stingel, exh. cat., Kunsthalle Zürich, Zurich 1995, p. 36.
